What We Do:

United Way of North Essex is committed to creating opportunities for a better life for everyone. We believe that Education, Income and Health are the building blocks for a good life.   

Education is essential to getting and keeping a job with a livable wage and health benefits.   
An Income adequate to pay for today’s necessities and save for the future provides families some sense of financial stability.  
Access to quality Health care keeps children on track in school and adults productive at work.

Remove any one of these building blocks and the other two topple down. United Way will continually look for the most effective ways to help people gain access to educational, economic and health-related opportunities.

We do this through our community funds for Montclair, Livingston, Verona-Cedar Grove and West Essex (Caldwell, Essex Fells, Fairfield, N. Caldwell, Roseland and W. Caldwell).

In addition, we provide services for residents of all our North Essex towns through programs such as T.E.A.M. and the United Way of North Essex Family Success Center .
